Is A Yom Kippur Recipe Like A Jumbo Shrimp?



No. First off, shrimp aren't kosher. (Though this obviously doesn't stop me from eating as many as possible when my dominant ethical code -- sustainability -- is appeased.)

Second, Yom Kippur cuisine is not an oxymoron. Even though the holiday is marked by a 25 hour fast, recipes do exist for dishes that begin and end it. Take the Iraqi-Jewish tradition of breaking the fast with rice milk. Read on at my latest post for the Jew and the Carrot.
